When you plug it in, how does ubuntu identify it ?

At the first time it tried to mount (or something like that). But it never detects my modem.

This is my first experience with Ubuntu.

there's no information on the web for that brand or model number. Can you find out what firmware it has ? is it a Huawei dongle with a rebranded name ?

It didn't work as my dongle has not detected by the OS. It's not that simple as they says. (device 1k select karana thana mage dongle 1k pennanne na)
